I accidentally spilled tea
Today morning I was drinking tea while laptop was closed just next to me and I accidentally spilled tea ok the trackpad...
I cleaned it asap left it for an hour and then I had to attend a meeting but it did make that normal clicking sound on the trackpad... Very unusual...
So I decided to open it, removed the battery, took a look on the trackpad (the blue board) but found nothing...
So I decided to leave it open for a while, cleaned it again, turned it on... The clicks don't work...
And now Im unable to clip back the back near the trackpad
Can someone please help? I bought this laptop used (imported) it's not cheap for me to fix it or replace it
More info: HP EliteBook 645 G9 16GB / 256GB
Dual booting Windows 11 PRO and Fedora 44 both have the same issue so it's definitely not a software issue
